Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P50L-100P-A-DA is the direct substitute for the obsolete P50L-100P-A-TGF. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance of the substitute part meets current regulatory requirements, whereas the main part is non-compliant
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity rating and export classification
• Contact finish difference (2.00µin vs. Flash) does not affect functional compatibility for this connector category

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and for maintenance of existing systems using the obsolete connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P50L-100P-A-DA be used as a direct replacement for P50L-100P-A-TGF?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (100), pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2), connector type (Plug, Center Strip Contacts), mounting method (Through Hole), and physical dimensions. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The main part specifies 2.00µin (0.051µm) gold plating thickness, while the substitute uses flash gold plating. Both finishes provide gold contact surfaces suitable for this connector category.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The substitute part maintains active status, making it the recommended choice for new applications and ongoing component sourcing.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. P50L-100P-A-DA is RoHS compliant, whereas the main part is non-compliant. This makes the substitute part suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the packaging formats different between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in the available data. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
